Ukraine invasion

[Tnhawk]

One wreckage pic earlier today looked like pieces of a WWII "Yak".

Sometimes the "news services" just use "stock photos".

I trust very little.

Some of the "news services" only push their "stock agendas".
Journalism stressed accuracy in reporting in the past, now it's mostly fiction.

Sure, I doubt any belligerent hasn't had that happen. Historically, Russia would be high on my list to not be captured by.

All of our SERE training was focused on them as the capturing force. I wouldn’t have them high on the list but they aren’t cutting your head of on live leak…

Hope the Russian soldiers brought cash. Mastercard and Visa have suspended operations Russia. American Express - Don't leave home without it!

Nope - they use the Russian Express Card - "Don't Leave Home!" Yakov Smirnoff.

NATO may not need to establish a no fly zone over the Ukraine. I thought the SU-25 Frogfoot would be tougher than this:View attachment 307067

The SU-25 is susceptible to the same issues as most other aircraft. “Toughness” is definitely subjective. Compared to an F-16 it’s probably able to take a little more damage, but being hit by a Stinger or large caliber AAA is no joke.

Being relatively slow and without the targeting systems and smart weapons needed to attack from high altitude means that the risk of being hit by a manpad jumps way up. The Hind is also considered a very tough aircraft, but they were dealing with huge losses when we sent Stingers to Afghanistan back in the day.

In modern warfare the most survivable aircraft are the ones that can avoid getting hit by flying high, fast, and having a long enough standoff range to stay away from the threats.

So this outfit Ammo, Inc. (also owns Gun Broker) can send 1 million rounds to the Ukraine, but on the website most stuff is out of stock. I have never done business with them but found this to be interesting, no ammo for US citizens but tons for Ukraine.

Russia-Ukraine war: Arizona ammo company to send 1 million rounds of ammo to Ukraine

An ammunition company in Scottsdale, Arizona, has pledged to send one million bullets to the Ukraine Armed Forces as Russian President Vladimir Putin continues his deadly invasion into Ukraine.

The ammo sent to Ukraine probably isn't the calibers we commonly use - 45acp, 357, 22, 223

Sending 7.62X39 However cranking out one caliber sacrifices others.

It doesn’t say that the company will be sending ammunition that they manufactured. And honestly, it’s probably cheaper for them to purchase from a European nation and have it shipped a short distance than to manufacture it their self and ship it around the world.

Fox does say they the company manufactures 7.62, but it doesn’t claim it as a statement from the company. Only as “according to (affiliate station).

Since biden is banning importation of russian ammunition, there should be a surplus amount in Europe.

IMHO, "Arizona Ammo Company" had better figure out the propaganda, FIRST, or they'll make themselves look like idiots !

 

[Younggun]

No, they won’t.

Nobody supports Russia in this. There is no justification for Russia.

More and more, I'm hearing from Friends who have spent years studying this, and who feel that Russia is justified, that our "media" have intentionally misinformed us again, that the U S political-military have pushed their globalist agenda with obvious intent to disable Russia in their quest to achieve World dominance and permanent control over everything.

So, you are wrong, some do "support Russia" to varying degrees and with reasons.

I ask only for people here to keep open minds. Please recall how our "media" and "the establishment" have misinformed us about Trump, the Civil War, our climate, energy production, gun control, excessive taxation and on-and-on.

Everything now is propaganda, everything !

This is far from over.

This couple has been sharing Russia with the world for several years, if you are interested in an honest presentation... (sometimes saying things we might think would disappear them, but lo-and-behold, they are still here).

"Macgregor has also stated that martial law should be instituted on the U.S.-Mexico border and argued for the extrajudicial execution of those who cross the border at unofficial ports of entry."

Hes got my vote

Got my vote.

While our media is trash, let’s not forget who we might be advocating for. We think our media is bad? Other countries news outlets are just part of the dictatorship.

I have no doubt this war is planned and past wars have much corruption. Still, some level of truth is visible in actions. Putin is wrong. The Russian government is a mafia. Let’s not get sympathetic to them. They belong in one place: the ground.
